Go-To Pet Sitter Among Friends!

Pet care experience

Growing up, I was surrounded by a diverse mix of dog breeds - five to be exact! On top of that, my house was a safe haven for rescue cats, rabbits, and one sassy parrot 🦜 This upbringing instilled in me a deep understanding and appreciation for the unique needs and behaviors of different types of dogs! When it was time for college and being away from my pets, I began pet-sitting for both friends and clients. This experience exposed me to various canine personalities and situations, from energetic young pups to those requiring extra patience and love due to their rescue backgrounds. And, as a dog sitter for multiple people, I have the insight scoop on the latest dog toys and food, so I will make sure to share that info with you 😉 Most people choose me as a pet sitter, because of my quick understanding of their dogs’ personalities and needs. And of course, my flexible schedule and the greenery in my area! So, in a nutshell, it’s my mix of dog-whispering skills, and love to meet new precious furballs!

Maria has cat sat for me several times now, around 4-5 times over the last few months. She is extremely trustworthy, reliable, responsive, and a true cat lover! I know my cat is always in good hands with her and love how Maria will text me updates on her status when she’s on her way and leaving my apartment. She’ll also text me cute pictures of my cat which is always great to receive :) I don’t have any hesitations about Maria and highly recommend her as your next cat sitter!

Having entrusted Maria with the care of my beloved dog, I can confidently say that she exceeds all expectations as a caregiver. Her unwavering dedication and genuine love for animals shine through in every interaction with my furry friend. Maria not only ensures the physical well-being of the pets under her care but also provides them with the emotional support and companionship they need. With her responsible and nurturing approach, I have complete peace of mind whenever my dog is in her care. Maria's commitment to providing the highest quality of care makes her the perfect choice for anyone seeking a reliable and loving caregiver for their furry family members.

I cannot recommend Maria enough for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring petsitter! I wholeheartedly trust Maria with my dog, Frankie. She goes above and beyond to ensure my pet feels safe and happy in her care, giving me peace of mind whenever I'm away. Frankie absolutely adores her, and it's evident that Maria has a special bond with him. She is a gem in the world of pet care, and I am grateful to have found her!

I trusted my puppy with Mags starting when she was just 12 weeks old and could not recommend her more! Millie gets so excited every time she sees Mags, which alleviates all stress that I may have of leaving her. She is kind, attentive, gentle, and most of all LOVES dogs. I have also trusted Mags to watch Millie for a week at a time and had no issues. I am thankful for her and all she does to care for my precious pup!
